Do you know that mental turbulence is a very real thing?

It can cause one to either self-implode OR it can cause one to do deep reflection/inner work. I choose to do inner work because it's more positive. If I chose to self-implode or self-sabotage then someone COULD get hurt lol. Seriously, I should't really laugh at that 'cause I'd be hurting myself in the process. When we hurt others we hurt ourselves too, 'cause even if revenge feels good it only feels good in the moment. Afterwards, we're forced to face ourselves in the mirror and we must contend with what we've done.

What I love about myself, is that it doesn't matter what I've ever said or written because I can ALWAYS back it up. 

You can come at me sideways about anything pertaining to me, and 9x out of 10 I'll always have an answer. It's because I know ME, and I know why I do or say the things I do. If YOU don't know why then it would behoove you to ask me. That's the only way you're gonna find out anyway lol, "straight from the horse's mouth" so they say.

I'm not interested in pushing falsities. 

Why? Because I have better things to do and in my opinion, it's a waste of time. I've definitely learned a lot about what deserves my attention/energy and what doesn't. I'm all about building, giving back to society, helping my family, growing spiritually and intellectually, living more holistically overall, leaving a legacy. 

Like my title says, "The intention is to change myself."

This episode was something sitting inside me that needed to come out. If I didn't let it out it would've probably tormented me until I did; mental turbulence. So I let it out and I feel SOOOOO much better. These episodes help me just as much as I hope they help you. 

Sometimes we feel things and may not know how to put them into words, but we hear someone else tell their story and it makes sense! Things begin to click and we may even learn how to better cope with a situation or a person. 

In this episode I speak about "Harvestors" or "Energy Vampires", and the things they do to try and dim or steal your light. It's a very real thing that I feel should be discussed more often, because a lot of people may not know or understand how to recognize when it's happening to them. 

After you listen I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. 

Peace & Blessings Y'all! Merry Christmas!

Hello Beautiful People!

This episode is for those who wonder what my truth is, and why it makes me do what I do. 

Just to let you know, none of my recordings are ever scripted. It all comes from the top of my dome as I'm speaking. I really believe in authenticity and for me I like to go with the flow, because it feels more natural to me. My apologies if my pauses and extra background noise from my kids isn't always ideal for you the listener, but it's how my life is right now lol, so I rock with it. I hope you can too. 

In this episode I speak about our inner child, and how it's important to stay connected to that part of ourselves. Are you connected to your inner child? If not, do you remember the last time you were? Are you aware of how to get back to your inner child? Think about it.

Thank you for listening!

I'm truly blessed to have the unconditional love of my children. 

What's interesting is, I think me having my kids is what ultimately gave me the power to stand firm in my convictions. It's almost as if I had forgotten my self-worth and doubted that I truly deserved unconditional love. 

It took for me to have my twins, two people I love more than myself, to be strong enough to fight back. It's funny how we're always ready to rip someone's head off if they mess with our kids lol. But sometimes we forget we need to harness that same fight for ourselves. Just like our children, we're also worthy of being protected, respected and loved unconditionally. 

We're all going to be used, hurt, and abused at one time or another in our lives.

WE have the power to stop it. WE have the power to say no more. WE have the power to learn from our mistakes. WE have the power to heal. WE have the power to move on. Fear is a facade - an illusion. It does not exist. 

Yes, the unknown can be a bit scary, especially when it requires change we're not used to. But sometimes change is necessary. If hurt wants to teach us a lesson then receive that message. Then take your love back and fill your own cup with it. Really, really love YOU, the way you've always wanted to be loved. When you do that elevation and happiness is inevitable. 

Thanks for listening y'all. Peace and blessings.

Do you want to know the quickest way to see who's truly down for you or just pretending? Start a business lol!

I'm serious! You'll know everything just from THAT alone. Folks you thought were good friends or a favorite family member? Chile please lol.

But it's true! People show their real selves if they think you're doing something out of the norm, or if they've just been jealous of you all along but never showed it. 

Don't get me wrong supporters can be undercover haters too; some folks are better with their masks then others. But I went from being upset about it, to being intrigued and eventually thoroughly amused! If nothing else it becomes a case study to me; I comprehend how studying the toxic behaviors of others will in turn create more wisdom for myself. As a result, I'm able to decipher things and break it down to where I can explain it to you.

This episode is about choosing to be love in the face of adversity, and how in doing that you're really just loving yourself. 

Sound a bit crazy to you? Trust me it's not! Listen to me break it down in the podcast and thank you for listening.

We're all spiritual beings having a human experience. When you think about it like that, it can make you feel like an alien lol.  

I guess we are in a sense; the birth process that women go through to bring a spirit from one realm into another. How we all start out as a seed that sprouts and blooms into a human baby! How we live in darkness for 9 months before getting to see light. How we breathe fluid like a fish - not air. As the baby grows in the womb, it is the mother who experiences the pain of it's growth. And to a mother we'll gladly take on that pain, as long as it means our babies don't have to.

Mother's bring earth angels into the world - spirits. Which makes us all children of GOD. After we're born and we go through life forgetting who we are, it is Spirit that reminds us. It's our job to listen and take heed to the messages. If we don't we could be at risk of losing ourselves forever which makes us easy to program; TV. 

Tune-in to the tube. Ride the wave - 432. Steady your energy. Listen to your gut. Take action. 

With so much cosmic love,

Shanda

Our lives are like the movies...literally. We're super human and most of us don't even know it, because so many of us are scared of our power! Don't be afraid of who you are! We're all gifted just like the Harry Potter films, like Superman, like the genie in Aladdin. 

There's a poem that stuck with me forever, and it's about being scared of YOU; it's called "Our Deepest Fear" by Marianne Willamson. This amazing woman is also currently campaigning to become America's next president!

OUR DEEPEST FEAR

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of GOD. Your playing small does not serve the world. 

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of GOD that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
